“the work of God in laying the glory

“the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust, and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself.”

And what is it that God does for us that we do not have the power to do for ourselves?

Of course, He saves us from the most unnatural of acts, death ~ the eternal death that would be ours were it not for God’s grace as revealed in the plan of redemption. In other words, it is the call to us, both as individuals and as a church, “to seek the Lord and live.”
